FOREWORD
Edition. Edition 2.1 was issued on April 30, 2021. It replaces Edition 2.0 from April 1, 2019. Corrections and/or clarifications of this edition were also made on August 23, 2024. Information on changes made to this standard can be found on Green Seal’s website.
General. Green Seal believes that product manufacturing breakthroughs in performance, health and environmental safety transform the economy to better serve people and the planet. Green Seal’s Standard for Product Environmental Innovation establishes a process for evaluating products, comparing them to conventional products of the same function, and verifying that they reduce significant human health and environmental impacts in an innovative way.
Under this standard, Green Seal provides a framework for the development of criteria, with resulting criteria as the basis for certification of environmental innovations. This certification demonstrates that an independent third party has verified a product contains an innovative aspect resulting in a significant reduction of human health and environmental impacts compared to products of the same functional class and not previously demonstrated within the product category. The criteria documents that are the result of the Green Seal Environmental Innovation standard (GS-20) are not designed to function as a product category standard or industry-wide sustainability benchmark. Applicants within a product category are neither required to nor eligible to certify against the same innovation as one already verified through the framework within this standard.
Normative references (e.g., other standards) in this standard intend to refer to the most recent edition published.
Disclaimer of Liability. Green Seal, as the developer of this standard, shall not incur any obligations or liability for any loss or damages, including, without limitation, indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages, arising out of or in connection with the interpretation or adoption of, reliance upon, or any other use of this Standard by any party. Green Seal makes no express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, nor any other express or implied warranty with respect to this Standard.
1.0 ELIGIBILITY
All eligibility requirements shall be met in order for a manufacturer to register an applicant product under this standard.
Commercially Available. The product shall be commercially available.
Comparable Alternatives. There must be products that provide the same function as the applicant product in order to make comparisons.
Legal Compliance. Manufacturer shall not be in violation of any applicable environmental regulations or laws nor any applicable regulations under the authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (or equivalent if based outside the United States).
Established Lifecycle Impacts. Studies on the environmental and/or health impacts of the raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal of the applicant product, must be readily available. Green Seal reserves the right to require studies conducted by independent authorities.
Compliance with Existing Green Seal Standards. Products for which a Green Seal standard exists shall be certified under the requirements for that standard before attempting certification under GS-20, except when Green Seal determines the product innovation demonstrates impact reduction above the applicable standard and is the first of its kind in the North American market.
Exclusions. This standard does not cover services, processes, proofs of concept, or products for which there is insufficient technical, lifecycle, or market information.
2.0 PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE IMPACT REVIEW
Citing authoritative sources, applicant shall submit statements that define all possible, anticipated, or known environmental and health impacts for each phase in the product lifecycle, (i.e., raw material acquisition, production, use, end-of-life, and disposal), in alignment with the guidelines specified in ISO 14040.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION REVIEW
The applicant shall demonstrate that a product is environmentally innovative via the following process: the applicant shall provide evidence demonstrating that a specific new approach to the product results in reductions of significant health or environmental impacts with at least a 30% reduction of one or 20% in each of two or more significant environmental or human health impacts, as identified in Section 2.0, as compared to available alternatives.
All innovations considered for certification must meet the following requirements.
3.1 Product Differentiation.
The innovation shall distinguish the applicant product from products that provide the same function and are available on the US market, and applicants must disclose in the Final Criteria Document how the innovation is differentiated.

The innovation shall reduce significant environmental and human health impacts compared to products that provide the same function, as established in the Product Life Cycle Impact Review (Section 2.0, herein).
3.3 First to Market.
The product shall be the first within its functional class sold on the North American market to demonstrate this innovation.
3.4 Mitigates Burden Shifting.
As needed, the applicant shall implement mitigation requirements, as determined by Green Seal, to account for burden shifting that results from the innovation.
4.0 SAFER CHEMICALS
Green Seal maintains the discretion to evaluate applications and products on a case-by-case basis and to add to or disregard any of the requirements as appropriate. Any variances from the requirements in this section granted to an applicant—e.g., for a hazardous functional ingredient with no available alternative or substitute—will be publicly documented and technically justified.
Green Seal uses the following factors to determine the level of disclosure required (i.e., to comply with Section 4.1.1), and which subsequent requirements are applicable to the product (i.e., Section 4.1.1-4.2.6):
- Product Form (e.g., Gas, Aerosol, Water-Based Solution, Nonaqueous Liquid or Solution, Paste, Gel, Powder, Solid, Assembly of Parts, Some Combination of the Above, etc.)
- Direct Human Exposure Pathway (e.g., Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion)
- Environmental Releases (e.g., into Air, Water, Wastewater, Land, Landfill)
The following Environmental and Human Health requirements apply when possible exposure pathways exist for the whole product or any product component(s). The requirements are designed to prevent human exposure to and environmental releases of hazardous chemicals during product use and disposal lifecycle stages, through regular handling and use.
Unless specified otherwise, components at 0.01% or more (by weight) shall meet the requirements below.
When there is more than one criterion that applies to a product component, the more stringent criterion applies, unless otherwise determined by Green Seal.
Electronic components of products shall comply with appropriate environmental standards available for the product category.
